Happy Maryland Day!
Crabs, culture, and Chesapeake charm—there’s no place like Maryland!
Today we celebrate the day it all began—March 25, 1634, when settlers first landed and Maryland was born. Here are some fun Maryland facts you might not know:
Did you know…
• Maryland’s official sport is jousting—yes, with horses and lances!
• We’re the only state with an official state crustacean—hello, blue crab!
• The Star-Spangled Banner was written in Baltimore.
• Our flag is one of the most unique—and historic—in the nation.
• And we’ve got a little bit of everything—beaches, mountains, farmland, and cities—all in one state!
Feeling proud to be from the Old Line State today? I know I am!
